Soooooooooo......
I had a long talk with Bob Levi (LA/OC Ausio Society Prez) and it was a great chat. We're going to rent a bit bigger room---for a second time---and really try to whip up a frenzy. So....whip, whip, whip, here's what the room will look like:
First, and formost for all you students and those with injured wallets, the food will be FREE! Woohoo! There will also be a cash bar in the room for speedy drink service.
Second...well maybe first...there will be a raffle. We're giving away a Desktop Millett Hybrid, A pair of HD650s, and two BitHeads each with a pair of UE headphones (I'm not sure which type yet).
I'm bringing some oddly configured amps down for sale CHEEP! These amps will have about a 30% discount. I'm also bringing down 10 BitHead/UE super.fi 5 pro systems to sell cheap. Also, if you show up you'll be told a coupon code that will get you a 15% discount on our website for a little while. (And no fair publishing the code for the lurkers that don't make it!)
909 has been helping me out in drumming up a few members with nice rigs to show off to the Society members they are:
DigiPete, 909, Edwood, johnsonad, guzziguy, and LFF
So you guys can bring your gear, and thank you so much for helping the community show our stuff to the broader audiophile world. Big round of applause! :eggo: You guys can come in as early as 10am to set-up.
The rest of you Los Angelenos can certainly feel free to hang a pair of cans around your neck and walk around like the geeks I know and love.
As I said previously, Ultimate Ears and Eddie Current will be setting up displays as well. What I didn't know is the UE will be bringing the NEW UE11 with the generic tip adaptors for people to try out! I'm going to hook them up with a Max with Krell transport for them to demo on. That should be very interesting. (Me? Meh. By then I'll have my spanking new FREE personal custom set of UE11s. Yeah, they contacted me and asked if I'd like a pair so I could talk about them knowledgably. I know, tough job.) Anyway, here's your rare chance to hear what I'll likely call the world's best headphone by the time I spend 20 hours with mine driving to LA.
I will be bringing down all the usual HeadRoom suspects---new Micro Prototypes (damn, no production units yet, sooo close), Desktop Portable, and Micro Portable, plus all the other amps you'd expect. And I am bringing the Wadia and Max Balanced rig. I will also have the Desktop Audiophile System with our new speaker stands and a running Desktop Class-D Power Amp prototype there for you to have a look at, but I'm not going to run it out loud too much.
The doors officially open at 1:00, but I could definately use a hand setting up starting at around 10am, so if two or three of you would like to help me out just PM me, and I'll erase this paragraph when I get a few volunteers.
So, come one, come all, come off it! You know there's something more important to do that you could skillfully avoid by coming to join up with a whole 'nother crew of Angelino Audiophiles at the
LA/OC Audio Society monthly meeting.
